As for what thread is about... tell me, where in the first post does it say you must not disagree with any opinions posted on the thread? You snapped back with basically "stfu read what the thread is about" which really isn't the point here.
I don't think "Japanese title pun doesn't sound good when it's not in Japanese" is a valid reason for judging a title, so I disagreed with you. To which, you snapped back with a knee-jerk reaction, hence the "chillax".

It's a forum dude, I'm not asking you to agree with my disagreement.
I gave my reason for why I don't think your point is valid, and you gave your reason to why you have the sentiments. That's all that matters.

The problem here is in your delivery. Drop the “And this matters why?” and I would be totally okay with your disagreement. The above question/line of yours kinda implied that I don’t know what I was talking about (which kinda mocking me) when the answer to that question is already in my original post (given the nature of this thread): I think the title To-Love-Ru is bad because it’s strange and doesn't make any sense when Romanized. That should’ve been where I stopped if not for your “provocative question” imo. And no, I wasn't telling you to STFU either, so "chillax" for you too.

I mean the "Black" part is obvious since every character in it has the color black heavily implemented into their design. "Shooter" I guess because the titular character uses mainly firearms to fight, but not every character.

Where does "Rock" come from though? I think I read somewhere the original concept for the character from huke said her cannon could shoot rocks, but I don't know if that's 100% true.

Still, even if there's some basis to it, it's still a pretty silly title.

English is kuuru nda.

Not a complaint, I love random Mandarin words too...

To me her the Rock Cannon seems like its made of some dense material, like some sort of rock. In the original designs at least.

Just for the lolz, I looked for silly titles in a list at a watch anime site, and here's what I've found, plus my response to the title. Note: I have NOT seen most of these, I'm just giving my first response to the title:

11eyes- That's nine more eyes than you actually need.

Amagami SS- Does the "SS" mean anything?

Angelic Layer- As opposed to a demonic layer.

B'tX- did you just fall asleep on the keyboard or something?

Betterman- As opposed to Worseman.

Bleach- Because when I think shinigami with swords, I think laundry!

Brave King GaoGaiGar- Nice name, "King"

Bubblegum Crisis- How is that supposed to make any sense?

City Hunter- Is hunting those legal in this state?

D-Gray Man- Is this supposed to make any sense?

DearS- Mircosoft Help: You appear to be writing a letter. I'd recommend learning to use the space bar and finishing the name of the recipient.

I don't even know what it's suppose to do with the series or what it's suppose to mean
moreover, what's even funnier is that in the light novels, the number of "ra"s increase by the volume lol
but it's one hell of an awesome series though

11eyes- That's nine more eyes than you actually need. There are six main characters, and the protagonist covers one of his eyes with an eyepatch. 11*2-1=11.

Angelic Layer- As opposed to a demonic layer. It might actually be an Angelic Lair, which probably refers to the field where Angels fight on.

B'tX- did you just fall asleep on the keyboard or something? B't (beat) is a term used to describe the "machines" used by the fighters there. The protag Teppei Takamiya's B't is called X.

Betterman- As opposed to Worseman. Wikipedia says "The titular hero of the series, Betterman, is a life form of superior physical and mental capabilities...", thus Betterman is better than the usual human lifeform.

Bleach- Because when I think shinigami with swords, I think laundry! Wikipedia says "The series was originally meant to be named "Black" due to the color of the Soul Reapers' clothes, but Kubo thought the title was too generic. He later tried the name of "White," but came to like "Bleach" more for its association with the color white and that he did not find it too obvious."

Brave King GaoGaiGar- Nice name, "King" Original name is Yuusha no Oh GaoGaiGar, so it's supposed to mean "King of Heroes GaoGaiGar".

Bubblegum Crisis- How is that supposed to make any sense? "Bubblegum" carries the connotation of femininity, and ties up with the fact that the operators of the powered suits are girls or women.

City Hunter- Is hunting those legal in this state? It's in the sense of "Hunter in the City". The protag is a hired gun, although his missions involved taking down syndicates or bad guys in particular.

D-Gray Man- Is this supposed to make any sense? see amaterasu4's post.

DearS- Mircosoft Help: You appear to be writing a letter. I'd recommend learning to use the space bar and finishing the name of the recipient. Wikipedia says, "150 humanoid aliens are naturalized into Japanese society and affectionately nicknamed "DearS"; a portmanteau of the words "Dear" and "Friends"."

Dragon Half- I suppose half a dragon is better than just its balls! Main character is a half-dragon. Wikipedia says, "Much of the manga contains references to role-playing games and occasionally either other manga or anything that begins with the word dragon."

Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventures- Isn't one Parallel Trouble Adventure isn't enough? Dual! is the main title, and the PTA is a subtitle.

eyeshield 21- What happened to eyeshields 1 through 20 Sena Kobayakawa, number 21 of the Devil Bats football team, wears an eyeshield to protect his eyes when he is performing his high-speed maneuvers.

Fate/Stay Night- Is this supposed to have some sort of meaning? It's Engrish for "That FatedNight You (Saber) Stayed Here (Shirou's house).

Gosick- Engrish for Gothic. Although the period has just left the Victorian age and is nearing the modern age.

Gungrave- Like that tomb that was actually filled with firearms in Terminator 3? The main protag is named Beyond the Grave, formerly Brandon Heat. He sports a pair of guns that have a grave design on it.

Guyver- Minus the Mc, and the improvised escapes. The Guyver, in this case, is a powered suit worn by the main character, among others.

Hayate the Combat Butler- Guy can't be doing to well- not much demand for combat butlers in the current economy. Hayate is actually a combat butler. He kicks ass.

I My Mi! Strawberry Eggs- Eggs come in strawberry flavor? Sweet! Strawberries pertain to femininity, while eggs are a boy's "family jewels". The main char is a boy who is forced to crossdress to be admitted as a teacher to a school with a misandrist administration.

Ikkitousen Xtreme Xecutor- Xtraneous X's The sequels of Ikkitousen have subtitles with two words starting with the same letter.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventures- Very bizarre indeed. And fabulous.

Kill Me Baby- Actually quite fitting. That's what I think every time I hear the opening. The girl protag is friends with an assassin. And since this is a comedy, black comedy ensues between the two.

Legend of the Legendary Heroes- Redundancy of the Redundant Redundancy The story is supposed to be about the legend of the legendary heroes.

Little Busters!- Like smaller versions of the crash dummy on Mythbusters? They're supposed to be crimebusters or something close to that.

Lovely Complex- That's a lovely complex you have there. Complex here carries the same meaning as that of "lolita complex".

Madlax- Looks like it belongs in a drug store next to the Exlax and Metamucil! Madlax is the name of one of the characters there.

I don't even know what it's suppose to do with the series or what it's suppose to mean
moreover, what's even funnier is that in the light novels, the number of "ra"s increase by the volume lol

It is onomatopoeia of a motorcycle engine. And the helmet chick rides a motorcycle.
